Review of Grease (DVD)

Xanadu...but most don't

Advantages: Camp and Cheesy Fun
Disadvantages: Crappy story

(film only review) On my last trip to Broadway, I was lucky enough (you may think I'm strange) to get tickets to see the stage version of 'Xanadu', lovingly ripped off from the 1980's film, starring Olivia Newton John. I hadn't seen the film before, so didn't really know what to expect, except that I knew how the main 'Xanadu' tune went. Well, I absolutely loved it, it was so bad that it was fabulous! The girl playing the ONJ character was ...
...with 80s retro gusto…anyway, that's another review altogether, what was my point? Oh yes, well, having loved that, we hopped off to Virgin megastore (they're not Zavvi stateside yet, phew) and bought the DVD…and last night we watched it…but, um, it kinda sucked! So, on with the story…Struggling Artist, Sonny (Michael Beck) from the West Coast bumps into a roller-skating girlie, Kira (Olivia Newton John), but then she vanishes. Oh no! He can't find ...

Review of Xanadu (DVD)

Its greased lightening

Advantages: great songs, and good acting
Disadvantages: none

...appears in both of the grease films and she is just great, she plays such a good funny but dim character, she can't sing well, but her character is just so lovable and is played so well. I would class Frenchy as also one of the main leads, as she is in the film a lot. Her character is just so different to everyone else. She makes this character different, and she makes you really believe she is as thick as she is loll. Dinah Manoff as Marty Maraschino ...
...even named High School Musical Grease 3. The film has a PG rating so is suitable for most ages, and runs for 110 Minutes. The film really is good fun to watch and I just love sitting down and relaxing with my kids to watch these types of films. I have seen both grease films and I loved them both, and will probably watch one of them again over the weekend. We usually decide between the many musical films I got which we are going to watch. ...

Review of Grease (DVD)

Classics!

Advantages: Two absolute Classics!
Disadvantages: Not a single one!

...Everybody knows the story of Grease - Sandy (Olivia Newton John) and Danny (John Travolta) have a summer romance that ends with them expecting to never see each other again. However, Sandy ends up starting at Rydall High where Danny goes to school. Initially Sandy cramps Danny's style as she's not quite as cool as he is and so she begins to date the school 'jock'. Danny gets amazingly jealous and eventually changes his image to suit Sandy but at ...
...Danny (a right little sex kitten!). The film is full of fantastic songs such as 'You're the One that I want', 'sandy' and 'Hopelessly Devoted to You'. It's a must for all lovers of films about the 50s, of musicals, of JOhn Travolta....... great performances by Travolta and Newton John, as well as by Stockard Channing who plays Danny's ex girlfriend Rizzo. In SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER Travolta plays 19 year oldTony Manero who loves dancing at the club ...

Review of Grease / Saturday Night Fever (Double Pack) (DVD)

"She's so swishy in her satin and tat"

Advantages: Fascinating insight into Bowie's work
Disadvantages: Probably not for newcomers to Bowie

...has consistently impressed me is David Bowie. Called a 'chameleon' for many because of the various characters that he has portrayed, his range of music is impressive. My favourite Bowie era is the early seventies, and thankfully, this is exactly the period that this double DVD and book set cover. Called a 'critical review', a number of people connected to Bowie and the music world are interviewed during the course of the DVDs. Two of those interviewed ...
...any kind of interview with David Bowie himself, except for the odd flash of an early seventies interview that he gave. I was initially quite disappointed to not have his input; however, in hindsight, this is supposed to be a 'critical review', so it makes sense not to have an interview with Bowie himself. And some of the interviews are really quite critical - Pin-Ups, a cover version album that Bowie released, is more or less panned by all of those ...
